How Our Philadelphia Attorneys Pursue Justice After an Uber Accident
Accidents involving rideshare vehicles can be complicated. Whether Uber’s insurance covers your claim depends on the nature of the accident. If your car was involved in a collision with an Uber driver, but they weren’t logged into the Uber rideshare app, you likely will only be dealing with the driver’s insurance coverage.
If you were a passenger in their vehicle, or the rideshare driver was picking up a passenger or actively transporting someone, then Uber will likely be one of the liable parties in your accident claim. Our lawyers will investigate the accident and pinpoint which parties we should take action against, and how negligence played a role in your crash.

Proving negligence is the key to successfully recovering compensation after your rideshare accident. Your Uber accident lawyer will do so through gathering evidence like:
- Eyewitness statements
- Surveillance footage and audio, such as if the rideshare driver had enabled recording during Uber rides

- Reports made to Uber
- Expert testimony, such as from an accident reconstructionist
Uber may try to delay the insurance claims process and timely evidence can be lost. It’s essential that you reach out to our lawyers as soon as you can so they can get started on the investigation.
